Sierra AT4 Mudflap Mod - Clearance for 35”x12.5” Tires - No Rubbing 

My cousin is a very intelligent man!

which delete? I just did the RC and the front rear mud flap delete just touches the tire

@@Ben-hr9gqI’m having the same issue , I removed the flap bracket , but the delete flap on and I run still whenever I drive over a small bump. It’s awesome , not sure what to do now . I’m gonna try removing the deletes and zip tying liner fab. Back 😢

No problem!

Yes - 100% the same truck

Update?

Looking to put the same tires on wheels with +10 offset. How do yours fit? Did just removing front mudflaps work?

I hope it helps. Depending on offset, you may have to change it up a little, but this is hands down the best way I’ve found to keep it looking factory!

I ended up having to trim some of the top of actual mudflap because it would still rub. I think its because the KO2 tires have more of a square edge vs the more rounded edge on other tires.

@@Kurly12 Just looked at this video and still having a little rubbing with KO2's

@@eddiekraft1197 My wheels have some offset and I occasionally get some rubbing when I’m turning and go over a bump.

Let’s see yours… but yeah, I had just wired them when it shot the video. It’s snaked through the frame now.

Thank you! The BDS kit with Fox reservoirs shocks was by far my favorite investment. The slightly longer travel and better dampening almost eliminate body roll, and even jumping the thing a few feet off the ground, they never blew out and never bottomed out. I will say that is primarily from the reservoirs and longer travel, but the adjustments were most useful in the rear to eliminate sagging when towing a heavy load. The front adjustments honestly didn’t give the range of feel I had expected, but still got enough use to say I’d do it again before anything else.

All of that said, even at the softest settings, they did make the truck slightly stiffer than the Ranchos on the street, so keep that in mind - it’s always a trade off.

Thanks for the reply.

No - I drilled a hole in the lower center, and put zip ties around it and the bumper bracket to pull it in towards the front.

Yes - I sold the truck last year, but it saw 2 summers and took a few pretty large sand jumps to bottom it out, but the only issue I ever had was hitting the mud flap bracket, which is what prompted me to come up with something and make this video!

@@modlife Thank you! I am looking at picking up an AT4X so this helps a lot as 33s are ok but I prefer more clearance.

4" BDS Lift

Yes 6 inch total, and with the diff drop the CV angles are the same as factory

@@modlife Great thank you! With the diff drop is your clearance the same? I’ve heard some people complain that the clearance isn’t as much? Are you able to still run in auto 4WD?

Good find - that looks like it would definitely work. I figured sooner or later someone would make something, but it definitely didn't exist when I had the truck!

Yes. I broke a control arm - my angles were good, but they aren’t very tough.

@@modlife oh that sucks. Thank you for the info so I know to get the arm control

It holds the mudflap in place - nothing more.

Stock size is 33” and looks small with the lift. 35x11.5 with the right offset eliminates a lot of issues. These NRG tires are a 12.5” wide.

@@modlife I realized that after. I was trying to fit 33 x12.5 and it rubs with a 20x10 wheel.

@@geoffbadger895 I did same size with 4 in lift. Did this and still have rubbing.

@@quietrhinoasmr2597 thanks for the response. I wanted to avoid rubbing all together.

Worth trying - I don’t know your offset though.

@@modlife darn I bought them off another seller so I’m stuck now with out knowing my offset 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

@@truckwithme1623 tape measure or ruler works pretty well, too.

Got damn lol I got a 21 Sierra with 2” level on 35s mud flap deleted fender liner trimmed no rub now lol

4” kit plus the 2” factory at4. It’s the same as a 6” kit on a standard 1500

Shocks are mounted correctly. If you’re referring to the reservoirs, I mounted them to the back so they can be easily adjusted - the only mount point ahead of the tires doesn’t offer enough clearance to get a hand in there and would also give very little room for tire clearance at full lock (risking the tire hitting if compressed and turned in).

Thank u can u show how u did the mounted more I’m get some soon for my

@@jamielafave5026 they come with brackets for rerouting the brake and sensor lines and pretty detailed instructions. BDS stuff is top notch. I installed mine myself in about a day and a half - with help it would’ve been a 6 hour job, but it is pretty technical and requires cutting & welding the frame for the diff drop. Sadly, I sold the truck at a really nice profit last month and have moved onto building a ‘22 Tesla and waiting for the Cybertruck.

First off, I really like your mod. I plan on using this mod when I get my 34s (295/70 R18). Second though, did BDS recommend mounting the reservoir in that position? I'm curious because the instructions from Fox say to mount it in the front position.

That depends on your wheel offset. These are a 0 offset 10” wide wheel, which would be the equivalent of putting 15mm spacers on your stock wheels.

I’ve since sold the truck, but believe me, there was tight but adequate clearance for those tires and wheels. I can’t speak for any other setup.

Held up for years before I sold it 🤷‍♂️

But hey, you’d know best… love your content. Maybe you should make a video on how you do it with your truck?
